Crystal River Cruises has added four shorter Danube sailings on the Crystal Mahler that are an alternative to the ship’s 16-day cruises.

The 106-passenger Mahler, scheduled to launch in September, will now sail three seven-day “Danube Serenade” itineraries between Budapest and Vienna, and one 11-day “Reflections on the Danube” sailing during April and May.

Frontier Airlines revealed a massive route expansion Tuesday that the company says will add 21 new destinations and 85 new routes to the carrier’s network. With that, the number of cities on Frontier’s route map will swell to 82 by next summer.

Also set for a dramatic increase is Frontier’s overall flight schedule. The airline will add dozens of non-stop flights between other cities that it already serves.
